In a 2012 incident report released by the Lexington County Sheriff's Department Thursday, Tim Jones, Jr. threatened to snap then-wife Amber Jones' neck, spit in her face and threatened to shoot the neighbors.

In the report obtained by WIS-TV in Columbia through a Freedom of Information Act request, Amber Jones went to the sheriff's department to report threats she said her husband made toward her in May 2012.

She told deputies Jones threatened to snap her neck while they were in an argument, according to the report.

"Amber advised at one time while the children where in the car he began arguing with her and then stated, "Let's play chicken," while driving the car directly in front of an 18 wheeler, only missing the truck by inches," the incident report says.

The report says Amber Jones decided to report the threats due to recent domestic violence situations happening throughout the county and "felt it would be in her best interest to document it."

She told deputies her husband had also thrown a hair brush at her and said, "If you don't get out of the house now, I will snap your neck right now."

The reporting officer gave Amber Jones a domestic violence pamphlet and directions to obtain an order of protection.

The Department of Social Services mentioned the domestic violence report in their records of the Jones children, but did not go into detail.

According to the DSS file on the Jones children that was released last month, a DSS case manager suggested Amber Jones contact Sistercare and leave the home for shelter, but she said she didn't want to do that.

Tim Jones, Jr. is charged with murdering his five children and dumping their bodies in Alabama. He was arrested during a traffic stop in Mississippi last month, where investigators said he eventually led them to the bodies of the children.

Jones is being held at a state prison awaiting his next appearance in court Nov. 14.
